Welcome Back, Commander

6/10 Generally fun concept, but sadly it's buggy, imbalanced, has sudden difficulty spikes, then again very easy, boring and underwhelming missions in between. Too many flaws are not polished out for the general cool and fun ideas to shine. If you really like what you see in the trailer, the game might be for you, there were certainly a lot of missions that were fun and many boss missions have a creative and cool basic idea, but the execution and balancing feels like this should still in development (but game is finished, no updates planned AFAIK). If you still want to try the game, I stongly recommend to try Chromosome Evil 2 instead of this game, even though I never played the 2nd part. Otherwise get this one maybe on a discount and if you don't mind that this diamond has rough edges, you can have definitely fun with this title, too. The UI is cool designed and pretty to look at but often misses crucial information that I need to make decisions. The hard difficulty mode is simply locked at the beginning of the game, but I have hopes that in the harder mode enemies come from multiple angles. It's just an assumption and might be wishful thinking, though. Generally the first part of this game was disappointing to me compared to Chromosome Evil 1 which had zombies come from multiple angles and you had to micro your units to cover them all. In this game in almost every level they only come from one direction. Other windows can simply be ignored because nothing ever happens, which kinda kills the tension and survival vibe. There is a quite long and easy early game and then in the mid-game there are some missions that will straight up end your run if you make the mistake of choosing them, without the right gear. How do you know to avoid those missions? You don't. Game tells you that you need to be well prepared for certain missions, but those missions I beat easy. The hard missions (cinema) don't come with a warning and you have to reload if you don't want to spend couple hours on the early game again. Those hard missions are mixed with other missions that pose no challenge whatsoever and make you wait without anything to do, until the boss slowly moves in front of a window for you to shoot him for 10 minutes (minimum) because it has so much HP. Without save scumming this game is in my opinion not playable. The devs even banned me as hater from the steam discussions, after I answered their question on how we like the bosses (in which a said I find them either too boring or too hard). So the way the devs handle feedback explains to me why the issues with the UI were not resolved through playtesting and I don't think we can expect any meaningful improvements for this game in the future. P.S.: Here are some examples, why I'm frustrated with the game: The medic has an upgrade that gives 5XP/day, but the info is completely useless because nowhere else could I find any mention of XP. The UI doesn't tell me how much XP I need for a LVL up (besides an analog bar that fills up) nor how much I get from a kill. This upgrade is the only mention of XP I could find so I don't know if 5XP is a actually lot or if it's almost nothing. I have 1 action per day, which I can use to level up. UI tells me that my guys can level up, but it doesn't tell me how many levels. It's not worth spending the action on only 1 level, it would be better if my guys have saved up multiple points to spend. But it only tells me how many points I can spend after I chose to use the action, which often made me simply reload and restart the day after checking it.. so I feel like I need to save scum alot to just play this game in a sensible way. Some skills say they boost medical equipment but they don't boost the healing station, so now I don't know if the UI is just unspecific or misleading or if the game is bugged in this regard. There is a stamina bar in the game and it depletes when running and using melee, but It's not at all clear, what happens if it's deplet…

DONT THE ONE WHO CARRY THE GUNNUS NOT USE IT IN THE BEGINNING OF A ROUND. ITS ANNYOING TO HAVE THEM SWITCH WEAPONS. MAKE THEM ALWAYS CARRY THERE GUNS HAVE THERE GUNS OUT! PLS\

It's the prequel of Chromosome Evil Games. Less darker and more funnier with Easter Eggs around every corner. Theres hidden optional bosses and cooler stuff you may need to dig down. Plus, the game gets easier with each playthrough as you unlock rewards. 10/10.
